Today I found strange bug in kernel. My system was very slow and I found dd and klogd are taking 100% of my cpu.
I take a look in /var/log/kern.log and saw those errors:

I can confirm this bug, using a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ250FE laptop with Ubuntu 8.10 testing.

The kern.log, messages and syslog in /var/log grew to 2048Mb repeating these lines over and over:

My computer shows the same (or a similar) bug. dd and klogd cause considerable load (50% each) and several logfiles (messages, kern.log, syslog) grow at a staggering pace. I actually noticed the problem when those logs used up all the available space.

Due to the excessive resource consumption of this bug, I'd consider it to be critical.

Dylan McCall (dylanmccall) wrote :

Have been encountering kernel panics very frequently here, both while the system is active and idle, although never with much justification. (Just basic use aboard some pretty meaty hardware). I just recently noticed the message in the log after remembering to check it.

System does slow down frequently and hang without kernel panics, which suggests scheduler problems.

Regrettably my previous logs have been erased so I have no way of finding out whether old lockups were caused by the same issue. I was actually away when this happened and returned hours later to find my computer in a panicked state. At this point I am just guessing that this bug killed it since it is the last thing in my log.

I am attaching my syslog, as well as user.log and daemon.log...

For quick reference, here is the offending snippet from syslog, line 72:
Oct 24 11:52:43 dylan-laptop kernel: [17183.342141] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x00000100

Here is something I found in daemon.log a few seconds before the crash:

That event doesn't happen very often, so may be related. Still possibly a coincidence.

The event at 17:31 and onwards is restarting after a hard power off.

HiI have the same kind of problem (dd and klogd taking up a lot of processor cycles). Appears almost daily. If additional info is needed, please drop me a mail. I added also some parts of my syslog. I am using the RC of intrepid. It seems to be related to the wireless module.

Hi Everyone,

@Michal Koziorowski, from the log files you attached I see you get a flood of "iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers" (see bug 250139) and then you seem to be hit with this bug. I'm guessing from examining from some of the other logs posted here this is related to wifi and specifically the iwlagn driver you all seem to be using. If you can all try the following report back your results that would be great:

1) Try installing the linux-backports-modules package. It recently pulled in an updated version of the compat-wireless stack:

https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27

linux-backports-modules-2.6.27 (2.6.27-7.3) intrepid; urgency=low

  [Tim Gardner]

  * Added iwlwifi firmware
  * Added the upstream compat-wireless-2.6 tree.
  * Updated compat-wireless to wireless-testing tag master-2008-10-14
  * Set CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=y by default.

Ideally, the updated version of the driver provided in linux-backports-modules will resolve this issue. If it doesni't help then try the following:

2) Disable wireless by unloading the iwlagn driver - 'sudo rmmod iwlagn'. From the timestamps on the logs it doesn't seem that this issue happens immediately so I don't think it would require require blacklisting the driver from ever loading. Does unloading the driver at least prevent this issue from happening? This will at least confirm my assumption this is related to the iwlagn driver.

Please let us know your results. Thanks.

I forgot to say, that I have been using linux backports modules from the beginning. I cannot repeat the problem now, but I think I will see it again.
I also think bug is related to wireless driver because I saw it twice when using firefox and torrent application. My internet connection speed is about 50KB/s and wireless is mostly not used heavily.

Thanks Michal. It would be interesting to know if you'd be able to nail down a set of steps to trigger/reproduce this issue. However, it sounds like it isn't happening as frequently as before so it may be hard to do so. Anyways, keep us posted with any news.

@Ing0R (as well as anyone else experiencing this issue) - If you'd like to try what I asked of Michal above - https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/286285/comments/23 - that would be great.

Currently using linux-modules-backport-generic 2.6.27-7.4, the "scheduling from the idle thread" problem just occured. I can 90% confirm the problem is wireless related, it's only ever occured at home, where I have WPA Wifi.

Once the problem began, rmmod the iwlagn had no apparent affect, other than disabling wireless. Attached is lspci, and lsmod output. In case either are of use.

Well, the bug reappeared today, which makes me suspect that the graphics card may play a role. My laptop (ThinkPad T400) has both a discrete graphics card (ATi 3470 or something like that) and an onboard Intel chip (4500MHD). When I saw the bug last week, I had the Intel chip activated. Later, I changed to the ATi card and the bug disappeared. Today, I went back to the Intel chip, and there it is again.

Of course, Michal Koziorowski and Alex Willmer both have an nVidia graphics card according to their logs, which doesn't really support this theory.

Anyway, linux-backports-modules doesn't seem to resolve this bug (sorry for the false alarm above).

I was running on a wireless network at the time of the crash.

* lspci and lsmod

I've killed klogd and dd since they were filling up my /var/log folder and the system is running, but still logging plenty of messages to the console.

I'm am also seeing this same error. However I have only noticed it and can reproduce it by using WPA2. Killing klogd allows me to continue working. I am able to use my wireless card on all networks except those that are WPA2. Wired networking seems to be working just fine as well. If I also disable wireless networking completely, I don't see that problem.

It might be unimportant, but the emifreq-applet panel applet always abends on logon, but after choosing to reload it, it works well. I've attached my /proc/cpuinfo.

I use WPA2 Enterprise when this happens. My username is simple, but my password is long and includes many special characters. A verbose lspci of my wifi card is below. I also use a docking station, and network manager. Is anyone with this bug NOT using the Intel 4965AG, rev61?

What 'Type' of WPA2 are you all using?

My access point is some blue, NetGear, small business WAP. The same subnet is in use wirelessly and on the wired lan. What access points are we using?

Could this be some switching loop?

I will try to cause it with high network load. At home on WPA2 Personal, and Monday, at work.

On the topic of graphics cards, I'm using an Quadro FX 3600M vbios version 62.92.2b.00.03. Is anyone seeing this error without proprietary graphics drivers?

I meant to say WPA2 Enterprise. This appears to be a distro-agnostic problem. I found a long bug in Canonical's Launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/286285 It seems related enough, and has enough momentum that I've posted my details there as well.

I've been looking in bugzilla.kernel.org but have not found anything yet relating to this issue.

Intel 4965AGN rev 61 is the adapter I use. I use it with a 802.11G network when this happens.

I have the same problem as a user noted above with my log files being filled with the following...

for 100's of megabytes. The logs will continually grow until I kill dd and klogd

I have no wireless on my computer (a HP mediacenter 1170.uk) so not sure if this is exactly related.

I am running Intrepid an the bug occurs in kernel 27-9 and 27-11. No idea what to do.

First time I've ever been bitten doing an upgrade in Ubuntu.

Did you see Mogwai's post on 5 Jan 2009?

What has worked for me:
Go to "System->Administration->Software Sources".
Under the "Updates" tab, check "Pre-released updates (intrepid-proposed)"
and "Unsupported updates (intrepid-backports)".
Run updates.

While this is less than ideal, I believe this quick and easy solution will
work for you. Please let us know if it doesn't.

Cheers,
James

I have found that the patch that was supposed to fix this bug has been reverted.
But the link to the patch that supersedes it does not work.

I followed instructions exactly and it made no difference.

Should I even be posting in this thread or somewhere else? I don't have wireless LAN and am now on kernel 2.6.27-11. Is it possible to downgrade Ubuntu? Or do I have to do a full re-install? All older kernels have been removed from the system.

I have attached a stripped syslog. The file was originally over 50Mb (I stopped dd and klogd as soon as I logged in which stopped it from growing even larger)

I have removed any line that matched /sd 4:0:0:0/ with a ruby script, this was to remove all lines like:
>Jan 8 19:30:36 media-linux kernel: [ 525.910359] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : No Sense [current]
>Jan 8 19:30:36 media-linux kernel: [ 525.910367] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: No additional sense
 which filled up the log

As you can see from the log, the events were happening so often that the log file is corrupted, e.g.

>Jan 13 20:47:13 media-linux kernel: [ 264.719966] sd 4:0:0 [current]
>Jan 13 20:47:12 media-linux kernel: [ 264.367664] sd 4i [current]

that is, incomplete versions of the lines I was excluding.

There also seem to be a lot of errors in the log that wouldn't normally be there (perhaps explaining the long delay on the boot splash screen while X tries to get up and running) I assume these are caused by updates I have included in order to try and get the dd and klogd errors sorted.

Another question why is DD running at all? Is it not a disk data copying program?

Any advice (even where else to go to sort the issue) would be appreciated.

@pauliephonic: This bug is only for Intel Wireless LAN. /sd 4:0:0:0/ indicates a storage problem. Have a look around the rest of Launchpad for the text in your logs, Google also indicates some users on Fedora 10 are experiencing the same issue. This bug is completely unrelated to your issue.

The patch is still in the latest kernel source. Only the reference in the revert was broken:

The revert was done to reapply the patch from the 2.6.27.7 stable patchset. It will get to updates hopefully soon now. There had been some regressions that needed fixing before that.

As a side note, it would be really nice if there was a reference to the commit or patch that was supposed to address the issue when these bugs are marked resolved. I know it's extra work, but it would make it easier for me to chip in on things like this.
